Ugh, why didn't this come along a few weeks ago before I purchased Twin (www.app4mac.com) which has turned out to be broken beyond belief for offsite FTP backups. To add insult to injury I paid nearly $80 for Twin.

They promise that a new version arriving Dec 1'st should fix the issues I'm having, but I certainly would have gave Parachute a shot for half the price, that's for sure. Perhaps it would have actually worked out of the gate, as well.

Either this version is working some amazing magic, or I've got a setting wrong, because I'm encoding at about 33FPS right now.

I own an Elgato Turbo264 encoder and am only seeing about 6-8 FPS faster using the hardware encoder versus Handbrakes software encoder, which is what makes this even more amazing to me.

Was glad to see a Mac version, FINALLY.

Unfortunately it's useless. Same issues as many others - 3 or 4 seconds of video then it freezes or skips to the next video, and now the server app just crashes repeatedly.

There's no way in hell I'm going to spend $10 for the full iPhone app only to discover it's no better.

Doh, sorry for the double post, didn't think the first one went through.

I'd like it if SD! could do offsite FTP based backups - I have a large amount of offsite disk space available and the extra security involved in having your backups off site is huge.

Yes, I know it can't be a bootable "clone" this way, but it could be offered as an alternative option that would add value to SD!

I was planning to use a program called Twin (mentioned by TUAW some time ago - http://www.tuaw.com/2009/05/15/first-look-twin-1-0-for-mac-os-x/) but I was disappointed to see that it went from being a $39 app (when originally reviewed) that I would have bought in a heartbeat to a $70+ app, a price point where another external hard drive as a second backup makes more sense instead.

Funny that they're rolling out this ultra fast network but they can't even get their base 3G network to provide decent speeds half the time.

At times I'm lucky to get 1/10'th of what 3G is supposed to provide. Dear Rogers, how about improving your "actual" speeds versus your "theoretical" speeds.

Justin nailed it on the head - this is not just an IM application, but an IM application with a back-end service that handles connections and such even when the app isn't open. Yes, Apple should have done this themselves with an iPhone iChat offshoot right from the launch, but since they're asleep at the switch BeeJive has filled the gap.

I've had BeeJive for some time and it works decent, but the 24-hour connection timeout still stinks and all too often I get alerts telling me that random IM accounts have disconnected for apparently no reason. If I miss the alert an important IM account could be offline until I load the app and notice such.

Some good applications there, but craplications like Touchscan and the silly lighter applications really shouldn't be there.

Sure they might have sold enough to make it onto the lists, but the whole idea of several of those applications is dubious at best. To put them in a prime location where potential new iPhone users could install them thinking they're "premiere" quality software does the whole platform an injustice IMHO.

Another suggestion for Gmail, either directly, or as a filter.

Spam is a complete non issue for me anymore, and has been off my radar for the last 2 years I've been a Gmail user.

Grey market, not black!

There's absolutely nothing black market about owning an unlocked and unofficial iPhone. Black market insinuated it's illegal somehow - grey means it was obtained through unofficial methods.
